CT Autopsies, a High Tech Forensics

Barry Daly, M.D., professor of radiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, developing a new technology called Computed tomography (CT) autopsies system. CT is recently used as a tool for civilian medical examiners’ autopsies in the United States. It has the potential to replace conventional autopsy in determining the cause of certain accidental deaths.

Barry said, CT is a sensitive imaging tool for detecting injuries and cause of death in victims of blunt trauma. This device can provide enough information to enable a conventional autopsy to be avoided altogether, on a motorcycle accident for example.

There are some different performance in CT technology. In cases of suspicious death, the noninvasive procedure does not damage or destroy key forensic evidence, as can happen during a conventional autopsy. In addition, CT can be used in situations where autopsy may be prohibited by religious or cultural beliefs.

On the other hand, CT autopsy is considerably less expensive than conventional autopsy and can be performed in a fraction of the time.
